EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: In this historic print from 1943, we see the launch of the Sheffield Hits Back Club's "play and pay" campaign during the Wings for Victory Week. The city of Sheffield is rallying its residents to join forces in a collective effort to raise funds for the purchase of 100 four-engined Lancaster Bombers, crucial to Britain's war efforts during World War Two. With an urgent call for 480,000 players - and payers - Sheffield aims to assemble a full team dedicated to contributing towards the staggering goal of £4 million. This significant amount will enable them to acquire these powerful aircraft that will play a vital role in defending our nation against enemy forces. The photograph captures the enthusiasm and determination on display as citizens gather at an event organized by the Sheffield Savings Committee. Their originality shines through with eye-catching advertising materials promoting their cause. The image serves as a reminder of how communities across Yorkshire came together during wartime, united by their shared commitment and sacrifice. Preserved within the archives at Sheffield Local Studies Library, this snapshot offers us a glimpse into history when ordinary people played extraordinary roles in securing victory. It stands as a testament to Sheffield's unwavering spirit and dedication towards supporting national defense initiatives during one of humanity's darkest periods.
